With precision traction, high impact endurance, athletic comfort and great looks, the MTX has become the industry standard when it comes to comfort. In fact at the DCI World Championships Eight of the Top 11 drum corps wore the MTX Marching Shoe including the Cavaliers, Glassmen, Phantom Regiment, and Santa Clara Vanguard.

These are excellent shoes for marching or casual wear. They look nice without the discomfort of traditional formal shoes. The tongue can be a little stiff causing a little discomfort with extended wear, but overall it's a minor inconvenience and forgotten pretty quick.They have laces, which are pretty cool considering they're shoes.I'm very happy with them for the price.
